We had a rare morning off, and I began it by eating too much granola. As a relative newcomer to touring life, one thing I’m still learning is how to pace myself at hotel breakfasts. With an empty stomach and effectively unlimited food, I overdo it time after time. I realised I’ve developed a lot… continued

We’ve made it to day 8 and concert 6 of our USA tour and we have officially passed the halfway point. St. Louis was the first place on this tour that I was returning to after coming in March 2018 and I had mixed memories of the place. On one hand I remembered the fantastic… continued

Day 5 and, for most, the first and last rest day of the tour. Six plucky Tenebrae members (former and current Associate Artists + Jimmy) would give a workshop at the University of Maryland in the afternoon but more on that later! First came the chance to catch up on sleep – this was the… continued

By the time we arrived in Maryland, we’d clocked up eighteen hours of coach travel. This has been a really civilised way to start the tour. It’s nice not to be rushing around airports, and to be able to look out of the window and see a bit of the country as we travel. The… continued

Day 4 of our tour across the states started earlier for some than others, with a couple of people heading out for an early run across Charleston’s beautiful coast. Luckily for me, the jet lag hasn’t hit too badly, so I engaged in no such worthy productiveness and slept until the rudeness of my alarm… continued

Welcome to the second blog of this tour, coming to you from the coach somewhere between Charleston SC and Durham NC. It’s currently day 4 of my first tour to the US with Tenebrae and so far so good! Yesterday we were in the beautiful Charleston with gorgeous sunny weather and great food. We arrived… continued

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce our return to Australia in January 2020, where we’ll be performing in Melbourne and Sydney. In Melbourne and Sydney we perform our award-winning interpretation of Tomás Luis de Victoria’s Requiem Mass of 1605. This luminous masterpiece has a timeless resonance that speaks to hearers across four centuries. This is performed alongside… continued

We’re thrilled that the wonderful composer Joanna Marsh is writing a new commission for us, to be premiered at Wigmore Hall on 1 December 2019. The new piece, In Winter’s House, is for male voices only and is written to sit alongside Britten’s Ceremony of Carols in its SSA arrangement. We caught up with her… continued

Since I last wrote the autumn has set in and the leaves are falling. The transition from summer has gone by in something of a blur as Tenebrae enjoyed its busiest September since we began performing nearly 20 years ago. In August we had tremendous fun performing at the BBC Proms, making our debut at… continued

We’re very proud to announce a brand new initiative with Princeton University, kicking off in two weeks’ time at our Russian Treasures concerts in Thaxted and  St. Bartholomew-the-Great on the 14th and 15th July. Four Princeton music students will join the full Tenebrae line up alongside our Associate Artists for these special concerts. Here’s an introduction… continued

We’re very pleased to share that we’ll be performing as part of the BBC Proms this summer! We’re part of the Late-Night Mixtape Prom on Tue 13 August, alongside 12 Ensemble and other artists. Tickets will be available to purchase from Saturday 11 May and the full details about the concert are available on the… continued
